Vehicle Mounted Skip Loader

It is also be designed to discharge the contents of the container by tipping as necessary. The system is powered by hydraulics generated by pump from the vehicle’s engine through a power take off.

The skip is designed to be lifted by chains attached to a hydraulically operated structure carrying chains attached to the skip.

Skips are generally used for bulk refuse, builders’ waste, etc.
